I hope you are able to have some quality time with your families for Easter. The end of our stay at home order has been postponed in California. The new date is now May 15th, but we know that it might evolve again in the next couple of weeks.

After paying a visit to our English mates, let’s cross the sea and visit our Irish friends. The only time I was there was last year for the World ICTSF English Sporting Championship. Beautiful ground and great targets that Richard Faulds set. I can’t wait to be back there. Enjoy the videos!

Bad news from England today, but they had no other choice… The 2020 World English Sporting Championship is not going to happen in 2020. It si postponed until next year. We were expecting postponement of course, but 2021..? What is going to happen with the 2021 World English Sporting Championship that was supposed to happen in the US? Let’s wait and see.

After the Emirates and Canada, let’s swing by my country of origin: France. Here are 3 videos that I took during the 2016 French National Championship. Check out the type of target presentations we get to see when there is a shoot at Sologne Shooting Club. Charles Bardou is considered one of the best target setters and in charge of the famous Euro Shooting Cash as well. Check them out and stay safe!

After Dubai in the Emirates with Nad Al Sheba yesterday, why not try to show a competition in a different country every day. That will allow us to kinda travel… I was happy to join the Canadian Nationals last year in August and found there some really nice people and very challenging targets. I enjoyed my time up North and will definitely be back as soon as possible.

I hope you’re having a nice weekend. I’ve been through a lot of clay shooting videos in the last couple of weeks and remembered one of my first competitions abroad when I was living in France. Nad Al Sheba in Dubai was simply incredible. Great memories, but extremely tough targets too. Check that out!

It has now been two weeks since we haven’t gone out of the house. I am afraid to write that the US has just passed China with the number of COVID-19 cases. First place now… Not very proud of that result though.

With EJ Churchill probably announcing the postponement of the 2020 World English Sporting Championship, I would like to go back to the last major shoot they held on this ground. Last year World FITASC Championship was an incredible event on the organisation point of view. It wasn’t on the technical point of view to say the least as some of us probably remember…

The bad news of the day is the cancelation of the Big Seafood Blast. Usually 500+ shooters. There will not be any BSB this year. Probably one of my favorite shoots of the year, if not my favorite. Sad… And sad to see the lost income that all these clubs are having right now. Please make sure that you go and visit as many clubs and local businesses once the situation cools down and gets safer.

I hope you had a nice day. The news of the day is EJ Churchill in the UK shutting down until further notice and all CPSA competitions have been canceled for the coming weeks… That is definitely not a good sign for the 2020 World English Sporting Championship in June.
